After studying Classical languages and Ancient History at Oxford, Nicholas Sudbury (virdrinksbeer.com) taught these subjects at schools for 35 years. He accompanied and led educational visits to various regions of Italy, particularly falling in love with Rome, which he has explored on numerous occasions since and now knows very well. Along with his passion for the place itself, Sudbury is a lover of Italian food and wine; other interests include astronomy, ornithology and various genres of music - especially 20th-century classical composers (such as the Rome-based Ottorino Respighi) and 1970s progressive rock! As a retirement project he set up the Latin language-teaching website Virdrinksbeer.com, used by students and tutors across the world. For the last 10 years he has also been a chief compiler for the magazine 'Logic Problems', where one of his monthly puzzle contributions is always based around the misadventures of a group of underachieving ancient Roman household slaves!
